Splendour In The Grass 2016 line-up announced

New York rock gods The Strokes, British legends The Cure and Aussie recluses The Avalanches headline the list of artists making their way to Byron Bay in July.

The bill also includes international acts James Blake, Santigold, Sigur Ros, Jake Bugg, The Kills, Jack Garratt, Snakehips, The Internet and the reunited At The Drive-In.

Headling the Aussie contingent are The Avalanches, who haven’t played live in 15 years, and haven’t released an album since 2000’s classic Since I Left You. The group have also announced shows at London’s Field Day and Barcelona’s Primavera Sound this morning, leading to rampant — and so far unconfirmed — rumours that they’re finally planning to release a follow-up to that groundbreaking debut album.

Splendour In The Grass will take over North Byron Parklands (126 Tweed Valley Way, Wooyung) from Friday 22 July to Sunday 24 July. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday 21 April; for more info, visit splendourinthegrass.com.
